I've been feeling really worried because I started shivering and got a high fever just a few hours after my CeCT scan of the thorax. Should I be concerned about this, and is it something that could go away on its own in a day, or is it more serious?

Question

I'm really worried about my CT scan results. Could you help me understand if everything is normal? What might be the issue?

I've had a total of three CT scans so far. The first was a head CT back in 2009 when I was just 15. Then, in 2018, I had two more CT scans at the age of 24one of the whole abdomen without contrast in January and a combined neck, chest, and abdomen CT with contrast in May, just five months apart. I recently learned that having multiple CT scans might increase cancer risk, and its gotten me worried. Am I at high risk because of these scans? I'm not sure what to do now and could really use your advice.
